Description
本発明は、脱塩装置の運転方法に係り、特に第1脱塩装置と第2脱塩装置とを有する脱塩装置の運転方法に関する。
The present invention relates to a method of operating a desalting device, and more particularly to a method of operating a desalting device having a first desalting device and a second desalting device.
逆浸透(RO)膜等の脱塩装置では、長期間の運転により炭酸カルシウム、シリカ、フッ化カルシウム等のスケールの析出や、有機物による膜閉塞が発生し、塩除去率の低下や透過水量の低下等の脱塩装置の性能低下をもたらす。スケール閉塞の場合、脱塩装置の性能低下を防ぐために原水中のイオン濃度を測定し、脱塩装置の濃縮水において飽和指数を超えないように運転する方法が採用される。ここで飽和指数とは、スケール生成に関与する各イオン種の濃度・イオン強度の積を溶解度積で割った値の対数値を一般的に指す。この飽和指数がゼロを超えないような範囲で脱塩装置を運転する。さらに飽和指数がゼロを超えるような場合においては、例えばスケール防止剤の添加によってスケールの生成を抑制し、脱塩装置を運転する。
In desalination equipment such as reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, long-term operation causes deposition of scales such as calcium carbonate, silica, and calcium fluoride, and membrane clogging due to organic matter, resulting in a decrease in salt removal rate and a decrease in the amount of permeated water. This leads to deterioration in the performance of the desalination device, such as deterioration. In the case of scale clogging, a method of measuring the ion concentration in the raw water and operating the concentrated water of the desalting device so as not to exceed the saturation index is adopted in order to prevent the performance of the desalting device from deteriorating. Here, the saturation index generally refers to the logarithm of the value obtained by dividing the product of concentration and ionic strength of each ion species involved in scale formation by the solubility product. The desalination unit is operated in such a range that the saturation index does not exceed zero. Furthermore, when the saturation index exceeds zero, the desalting apparatus is operated after suppressing the formation of scale, for example, by adding a scale inhibitor.
スケール防止剤の添加によっても抑制不可能であるような飽和指数を大きく超える水質である場合、従来ではスケールを除去するために酸洗浄やアルカリ洗浄の薬品洗浄が行われてきた。しかし一般的な洗浄では、装置を止め、洗浄液で洗浄し、洗浄液を回収した後に通水を再開することから、洗浄コストが大きくなる。そこで、長期間運転しても脱塩装置の性能が低下することなく、薬品洗浄を必要としない脱塩装置の運用が望まれていた。
If the water quality greatly exceeds the saturation index, which cannot be suppressed even by adding scale inhibitors, conventionally, chemical cleaning such as acid cleaning and alkaline cleaning has been performed to remove scale. However, in general cleaning, the cleaning cost increases because the apparatus is stopped, the cleaning liquid is used, and the water supply is restarted after the cleaning liquid is recovered. Therefore, it has been desired to operate a desalting apparatus that does not require cleaning with chemicals without degrading the performance of the desalting apparatus even after long-term operation.
脱塩装置の運転方法の一つとして、フラッシング法が挙げられる。ここでフラッシングとは、給水ポンプの稼働を継続したまま、濃縮水排出配管の開閉弁を開とすることにより、濃縮水排出配管から給水を系外へ排出させる操作を指す。通常運転時より速い流速で通水することにより、膜面を閉塞させる汚れを効果的に洗い流すことができる。フラッシングは、1~10回/日の頻度で、30~120秒/回で行うことが一般である。しかし、数分/回程度のフラッシングでは性能低下した脱塩装置を回復させることは不十分であり、結局洗浄液による洗浄を実施せざるをえない。またフラッシングを行う場合、濃縮水配管の開閉弁を開とすることから、フラッシングを行う間は、透過水の生産を行うことができず、脱塩装置の回収率は低下してしまう。
さらに、RO給水相当の塩類濃度では、フラッシングによる性能低下した脱塩装置を回復させることは不十分であり、塩類濃度の低い水でフラッシングを行うことが望ましい。 One method of operating a desalinator is a flushing method. Here, flushing refers to the operation of discharging water from the concentrated water discharge pipe to the outside of the system by opening the on-off valve of the concentrated water discharge pipe while the water supply pump continues to operate. Contamination blocking the membrane surface can be effectively washed away by passing water at a higher flow rate than during normal operation. Flushing is generally performed at a frequency of 1 to 10 times/day for 30 to 120 seconds/time. However, flushing for several minutes/time is not sufficient to restore the performance of the desalting apparatus, and cleaning with a cleaning liquid is inevitable. In addition, since the on-off valve of the concentrated water pipe is opened when flushing is performed, permeated water cannot be produced during flushing, and the recovery rate of the desalting apparatus decreases.
Furthermore, the salt concentration equivalent to RO feed water is insufficient to restore the performance of the desalting apparatus whose performance has deteriorated due to flushing, and it is desirable to perform flushing with water having a low salt concentration.

In addition, since the on-off valve of the concentrated water pipe is opened when flushing is performed, permeated water cannot be produced during flushing, and the recovery rate of the desalting apparatus decreases.
Furthermore, the salt concentration equivalent to RO feed water is insufficient to restore the performance of the desalting apparatus whose performance has deteriorated due to flushing, and it is desirable to perform flushing with water having a low salt concentration.
その他の方法として、モジュールの被処理水の流れ方向を反転させる方法がある。この方法によると、原水スペーサーに蓄積した濁質を容易に剥がすことが可能となり、脱塩装置の安定性が向上する(特許文献1、2)。しかし、流れを反転させるために必要なバルブ数が大幅に増え、イニシャルコストが大幅に増加してしまう。また、バルブに故障が生じた場合、バルブの切り替えを行うことができず、装置の安定性が大きく損なわれてしまう。さらに流れ反転によるスケール物質に対する剥離効果については言及されていない。
Another method is to reverse the flow direction of the water to be treated in the module. According to this method, it becomes possible to easily remove the turbidity accumulated in the raw water spacer, thereby improving the stability of the desalination apparatus (Patent Documents 1 and 2). However, the number of valves required for reversing the flow is significantly increased, resulting in a significant increase in initial cost. In addition, if a valve fails, the valve cannot be switched, and the stability of the device is greatly impaired. Furthermore, no mention is made of the detachment effect on scale material due to flow reversal.
特許文献3には、Fイオン、Alイオン、及びNaイオン濃度の低い洗浄水を通水してスケールを洗浄する方法が記載されている。この方法では、逆浸透膜処理工程における流量、圧力、水温の値から算出される標準化透過水量(補正透過水量)と、予め設定された初期標準化透過水量との比率が規定値となったときに、洗浄水の通水に切り替える。しかし、この方法では、低下した脱塩装置の性能を十分に回復させることはできないことが判明した。
Patent Document 3 describes a method of washing scale by passing washing water with low concentrations of F ions, Al ions, and Na ions. In this method, when the ratio between the standardized permeate amount (corrected permeate amount) calculated from the values of flow rate, pressure, and water temperature in the reverse osmosis membrane treatment process and the preset initial standardized permeate amount becomes a specified value , switch to flow of washing water. However, it has been found that this method cannot sufficiently recover the degraded performance of the desalting apparatus.

第2RO装置22の脱塩水(透過水)は、配管73、62を介して前記配管33に合流し、脱塩水として取り出される。第2RO装置22の濃縮水は、配管74、75,バルブ76を介して、配管65に流れ、濃縮水として取り出される。
The desalted water (permeated water) of the second RO device 22 joins the pipe 33 via the pipes 73 and 62 and is taken out as desalted water. Condensed water from the second RO device 22 flows through pipes 74, 75 and valve 76 into pipe 65 and is taken out as concentrated water.
また、図2ではバルブ42は開、バルブ44は閉とされている。そのため、配管31の第1脱塩水の一部は、配管42、37を介して一方の第2脱塩装置21の給水口に供給され、第2脱塩装置21が希薄水通水運転される。該一方の第2RO装置21の脱塩水は、配管61、62を介して配管33に合流し、脱塩水として取り出される。該一方の第2RO装置21の濃縮水は、配管63、68、バルブ69、配管70、71を介して原水タンク1に返送される。
Also, in FIG. 2, the valve 42 is open and the valve 44 is closed. Therefore, a part of the first desalted water in the pipe 31 is supplied to the water supply port of one of the second desalting devices 21 through the pipes 42 and 37, and the second desalting device 21 is operated with dilute water. . The desalted water of the one second RO device 21 joins the pipe 33 via the pipes 61 and 62 and is taken out as desalted water. The concentrated water of the one second RO device 21 is returned to the raw water tank 1 via the pipes 63, 68, the valve 69, and the pipes 70, 71.
このように、図1、2の脱塩装置の運転方法においては、並列設置された2台の第2脱塩装置21、22のうち一方で通常運転しながら、他方で第1脱塩水を通水して希薄水通水運転を行うことで、脱塩装置を停止することなく、第2RO装置の性能低下を防ぐことができる。
1 and 2, one of the two second desalting devices 21 and 22 installed in parallel is normally operated while the other is passing the first desalted water. By performing the dilute water flow operation with water, it is possible to prevent deterioration of the performance of the second RO device without stopping the desalination device.
図1、2では、第1RO装置4が1基設置され、第2RO装置21、22が合計2基設置されているが、それ以上ずつ設置されてもよい。また、図1、2では、第2RO装置21,22それぞれが希薄水通水運転しているときには、希薄水は濃縮水と脱塩水とに分離されているが、脱塩水流路のバルブ(図示せず)を閉じることで希薄水は濃縮水と脱塩水とに分離せず、第2RO装置21,22からは濃縮水のみを排出するようにしても良い。
1 and 2, one first RO device 4 is installed and a total of two second RO devices 21 and 22 are installed, but more may be installed each. In FIGS. 1 and 2, when the second RO devices 21 and 22 are in the diluted water flow operation, the diluted water is separated into concentrated water and desalinated water. (not shown) may be closed so that the diluted water is not separated into concentrated water and desalted water, and only the concentrated water is discharged from the second RO devices 21 and 22 .
[希薄水の通水速度]
希薄水の通水速度は、脱塩装置の閉塞状態に応じて適宜決定することができるが、例えば逆浸透膜の場合、0.001~1m/s、特に0.02~0.2m/sが好ましい。具体的には、4インチモジュールでは1本あたり300~2000L/Hrであることが好ましく、8インチモジュールでは1本あたり1.8~10m3/Hrであることが好ましい。また、脱塩装置の濃縮水排出側での圧力は0.1~2MPaであることが好ましい。 [Flow rate of dilute water]
The flow rate of dilute water can be appropriately determined according to the clogging state of the desalting device. is preferred. Specifically, it is preferably 300 to 2000 L/Hr per one 4-inch module, and 1.8 to 10 m 3 /Hr per one 8-inch module. Further, the pressure on the concentrated water discharge side of the desalting device is preferably 0.1 to 2 MPa.

[希薄水を通水する第2脱塩装置の切り替えタイミング]
第2RO装置の補正透過フラックスが運転初期から低下する前に、具体的には運転初期から5%以上低下するよりも前に、希薄水を通水する第2RO装置を切り替える。なお、この5%は一例であり、1~5%の間から選択された値であればよい。特に、第2RO装置において最も濃縮のかかる末端ROの透過フラックスの変化を測定することが好ましい。補正透過フラックスは、後述の実施例に記載の通りである。 [Switching timing of the second desalination device through which dilute water is passed]
Before the corrected permeation flux of the second RO device drops from the initial stage of operation, specifically before it drops by 5% or more from the initial stage of operation, the second RO device through which lean water is passed is switched. Note that this 5% is just an example, and any value selected from between 1 and 5% may be used. In particular, it is preferable to measure the change in permeation flux of the most concentrated terminal RO in the second RO device. The corrected transmission flux is as described in the examples below.

In particular, it is preferable to measure the change in permeation flux of the most concentrated terminal RO in the second RO device. The corrected transmission flux is as described in the examples below.
補正透過フラックスの減少量を検知するのではなく、所定時間、一方の第2RO装置を所定時間通常運転し他方の第2RO装置を希薄水通水運転した後に、該一方の第2RO装置を通常運転とし該他方の第2RO装置を希薄水通水運転に切り替えることも可能である。この所定時間としては、10~240分、特に30~180分、例えば約90分が例示される。
Instead of detecting the amount of decrease in the corrected permeated flux, one of the second RO devices is normally operated for a predetermined period of time and the other second RO device is operated with lean water, and then the one of the second RO devices is operated normally. However, it is also possible to switch the other second RO device to lean water flow operation. This predetermined time is exemplified by 10 to 240 minutes, especially 30 to 180 minutes, eg about 90 minutes.
[希薄水の水質]
上記実施の形態では、希薄水として第1脱塩水を用いているが、本発明では、希薄水は、溶解塩類が飽和溶解度未満となっていればよい。したがって、第2脱塩水(第2RO装置の透過水)を希薄水として用いてもよい。また、第1RO装置または第2RO装置の透過水と原水とを混合したものを希薄水として用いてもよい。更には第1RO装置または第2RO装置の透過水と第1濃縮水とを混合したものを希薄水として用いてもよい。溶解塩類の飽和溶解度とは、X+のモル濃度[X+]及びY-のモル濃度[Y-]に関してスケール種XYの溶解度積Kspについて、[X+][Y-]=Kspを満たすものである。 [Quality of dilute water]
In the above embodiment, the first desalted water is used as the dilute water, but in the present invention, the dissolved salts in the dilute water should be less than the saturation solubility. Therefore, the second desalted water (permeated water of the second RO device) may be used as diluted water. Further, a mixture of the permeated water of the first RO device or the second RO device and raw water may be used as diluted water. Furthermore, a mixture of the permeated water of the first RO device or the second RO device and the first concentrated water may be used as diluted water. The saturated solubility of a dissolved salt satisfies [X + ][Y − ]=Ksp for the solubility product Ksp of scale type XY with respect to the molar concentration of X + [X + ] and the molar concentration of Y − [ Y − ]. is.

なお、希薄水の水温が低い場合は透過水量の回復効果は小さいため、希薄水の水温は20℃以上特に25℃以上であることが好ましい。
When the temperature of the dilute water is low, the effect of recovering the amount of permeated water is small.

The scale inhibitor can be appropriately selected according to the type of desalination equipment used and the raw water. A reverse osmosis membrane device is used as a desalination device, and in the case of water to be treated that produces calcium carbonate scale, phosphonic acid such as 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid, acrylic acid and 2-acrylamide -Copolymer of 2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, polyacrylic acid, etc. can be used, and in the case of water to be treated that produces calcium fluoride scale, 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid Phosphonic acid such as acid, polyacrylic acid, and the like can be used.

In addition, while dilute water is being passed through, the recovery rate of concentrated water from the demineralizer may be maintained within the range of less than the saturated solubility, and water may be passed while producing treated water.

[結果及び考察]
模擬原水通水工程終了直前における第2RO装置94のフラックスFと初期フラックスF0との比F/F0を「補正透過水量比」として図5に示す。図5の通り、実施例1のように、RO膜のフラックスが低下する前に希薄水通水工程を行うことにより、RO膜の性能低下を防ぐことが可能となる。これに対し、フラックスと初期標準化透過水量との比率が90%となったときに、希薄水の通水に切り替えるようにした場合には、性能低下した脱塩装置の性能を十分に回復させることはできない(比較例1)。 [Results and discussion]
The ratio F/ F0 between the flux F of thesecond RO device 94 and the initial flux F0 immediately before the simulated raw water passing step is completed is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, performance degradation of the RO membrane can be prevented by performing the dilute water passing step before the flux of the RO membrane decreases, as in Example 1. FIG. On the other hand, when the ratio of the flux to the initial standardized permeate amount reaches 90%, when the flow of dilute water is switched to, the performance of the desalinator, which has deteriorated, can be fully recovered. (Comparative Example 1).
